Dingalan has several caves, of which the Lamao Caves are the best known. The rough shoreline and very high waves of Dingalan makes it attractive to surfers.


History


Dingalan, formerly just a barangay, was created a municipal district within the municipality of Baler in 1956.[5] It was declared a town in 1962.[6]

From November 30 to December 3, 2004, the town was wiped out by the tropical storms Violeta, Winnie, and Yoyong. The town benefited by relief efforts from foreign traders, some Christian groups, La Salle Greenhills, and the Philippine National Red Cross.

Due to its distance from Aurora's capital Baler, Dingalan has been pushing to be included in Nueva Ecija instead since the 1990s. Services from Palayan City, the capital of Nueva Ecija, is closer. Currently, there are no roads that directly connect Dingalan to Baler.


Geography


According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 304.55 square kilometres (117.59 sq mi) [7] constituting 9.68% of the 3,147.32-square-kilometre- (1,215.19 sq mi) total area of Aurora.

Dingalan is situated approximately 183 kilometres (114 mi) north-east of Manila. It is bounded on the north by San Luis, west by Gabaldon and General Tinio (Nueva Ecija) and Doña Remedios Trinidad (Bulacan), south by General Nakar (Quezon), and east by the Benham Rise or Plateau and Philippine Sea.

It is a small town with one main cemented road with branching alleys. Further south of the town proper are the barangays of Aplaya, Butas na Bato, Matawe, Ibona, Dikapanikian and Umiray. The premier barangay north of the town is Paltic. All of the barangays are located on the seashore, except for Poblacion and two barangays located in the mountains. The whole town is mountainous due to the Sierra Madre Mountains. The Umiray River separates the town from Quezon Province.


Barangays


Dingalan is politically subdivided into 11 barangays.[8]
